What phase are you in today?

Nobody prepares you for this part of motherhood.

The leaking.
The unevenness.
The favorite side.
The being touched out but still showing up.

Breastfeeding b***s go through eras.
And every single one of them is normal.

Your body is not failing.
It is adapting.
Providing.
Sustaining life 🤱

If you’ve lived at least ONE of these phases, you’re not alone.
Drop a 🤍 and tell me which one you’re in right now 👇
